Abstract
The association between psychosis and physical inactivity is highlighted in a study by Stubbs and colleagues. With data from the World Health Survey, researchers included 204 186 individuals from 21 low-income and 25 middle-income countries in their study. The prevalence of low physical activity was 27% in people with no psychosis, 24% in people with subclinical psychosis, and 33% in people with a psychosis diagnosis. A psychosis diagnosis was associated with a higher risk of low physical inactivity compared with controls (odds ratio [OR] 1·36, 95% CI 1·04–1·78; p<0·05); when analysed by sex, risks remained higher for men with psychosis (2·29, 1·57–3·34; p<0·001), but not for women.
